Info

1. Select your Preferred Method of Delivery on the order form. A delivery service, for a small fee, is provided to many counties (see the * next to the county on the Forester’s list to determine if available). If you check the “Ship by________ County Truck” box, a local DNR forester will contact you about the time and location that your trees will arrive. Missing the scheduled delivery date, may require you to pick up your order at the designated nursery during regular business hours. If you check the “I Will Pick Up at the Following Nursery” box, the nursery will contact you to set a date for pick up. 2. Trees and shrubs from the State Nurseries are packaged in waxed cardboard boxes with plastic bags inside or in water resistant bags. The boxes are 30” long, 17” height, and 11” deep. Bags are the standard 50# dog food size. These containers may leak some water that was added when the trees were packed. Boxes and bags may weigh between 10# to 70# and may contain between 150 to 2000 seedlings depending on what was packed. Packages may contain more than one species and should be labeled accordingly. Trees and shrubs may be kept sealed in these containers for a week or more if they are kept cool and out of the sun. (They may be opened, watered, excess drained, and resealed if dryness is noted.) 3. A standard short bed pickup truck with a standard topper will hold about 20 boxes. Large orders may be shipped 21 SHIPPING INFORMATION using refrigerated semi trucks. This is desirable because a low temperature is maintained during transit that helps maintain the viability of the seedlings. 53’ semi vans will hold 560 boxes which are shipped on special pallets. 4. State nurseries normally operate Monday through Friday and are open for pick-up orders between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. It is helpful if you have your order number when you arrive. 5. State nursery stock is generally not shipped by commercial carrier because of the cost and the lack of temperature control during delivery.
